Sulphur Mountain Cosmic Ray Station, the National Historic Site found atop Sulphur Mountain in Banff National Park, marks the spot where the National Research Council constructed a laboratory to study cosmic rays in 1957. The station, shown in the photo above, was operational until 1978 and dismantled in 1981. Although there is no direct connection between this recipe and the national historic site, Tang orange drink crystals have an association with space exploration and were famously used by some early NASA manned space flights. In 1962, when American astronaut John Glenn conducted eating experiments in orbit, Tang was selected for the menu. As well as being an integral beverage to the “Space Race” of the 1960s and 1970s, it was also a very popular household drink during this period.
